As someone not so invested emotionally in SGA this episode didn't have the impact that Janet's death in SG-1 and Riley's in SGU had for me. I suppose I'd have to put it down to the frankly ridiculous way Carson met his end. All I could see were people trying to keep a straight face as they talked about yet another weird Ancient weapon, exploding tumours!
Honestly, for me it ruined an otherwise entertaining episode where we shared a day with people on Atlantis actually having a day off, and showing they have a life outside of work! How else would we have ever seen Ronon's unorthodox but effective golf swing?!!! But, as always I guess something has to blow up and take out a few people to make an episode 'interesting'!
Carson was a likeable character and that gave more of an impact as far as drama goes. The scene at the end was a good one for McKay in a way, it showed that he did care for certain people. This was always nice to see.
